'Where in life we do everything we can to avoid anxiety, in art we must persue it. This is difficult. Everything in our life and culture , regardless of our background, is dragging us away. Still, there is this sense of something imminent. And what is imminent, we find, is neither the past nor the future, but simply - the next ten minutes'.
Morton Feldman; The Anxiety of Art (part of 3 essays in The Music of Morton Feldman edited by Thomas DeLio)
